Chapter 560: Where is the goal

Zhang Yi was not too polite, he coldly replied to Sima Cuo: "If I am not mistaken, it is said that General Sima was also full of confidence when he sent troops to Michi, but what about the final outcome?" Nine deaths! This is the price of reckless use of troops. ”

"Now that the smoke and dust of the Michi War are not over, if the Qin State sends high-profile troops to attack the eastern princes again, then it must not arouse their greater disgust, this move makes them more united, and invisibly helps Su Qin a lot, so that he has more reason to call on the princes to join forces to resist Qin."

Zhang Yi turned his eyes to the King of Qin, and said earnestly: "Our Qin State must not sit still, passively waiting, according to the minister's opinion, we might as well operate secretly, give them a surprise, and attack them unprepared." ”

King Qin Yingsi listened to Zhang Yi's advice, nodded again and again, and said: "The prime minister's words are very reasonable, just do what you want." ”

Sima Cuo was not so convinced, he bowed and kowtowed to King Qin Yingsi, and said: "The minister has a word, don't vomit or be unhappy, I hope that the king will give the minister a chance." ”

Ying Si saw Sima Cuo's anxious appearance and felt a little funny, but he didn't doubt Sima Cuo's loyalty, so Ying Si agreed: "If you have anything to say, you don't need to kowtow so much and plead, as if I don't give you a chance to speak." ”

Sima turned his face to Zhang Yi and said bluntly: "This time, we will listen to Prime Minister Zhang's proposal, and you will plan to secretly interfere with and sabotage Su Qin's joint vertical conference with a combination of tactics. However, what if your operation fails this time? Shouldn't we also consider my proposition, temporarily abandon Lian Heng's efforts, march into Bashu, and concentrate on domestic politics? ”

As soon as Zhang Yi heard Sima Cuo's words, he suddenly felt the pressure increase in his heart, and thought, "Aren't you my army?" Who can guarantee that all actions are foolproof? ”

Zhang Yi straightened up and was about to argue with Sima Cuo, when Zhu Li stood up, and he hurriedly persuaded: "The luck of the Qin State lies in the internal unity, one of you is the general, the other is the prime minister, and you will quarrel with each other, so that the subjects and people of the Qin State should listen to whom." ”

Zhu Li said solemnly: "Both of you suppress your own temperament and consider each other's opinions. Since everyone agreed with me just now to prioritize within a specific period of time, then it is now a matter of urgency for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's succession and integration, so let's do this first. ”

"As for the success, it is not Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's responsibility alone, God also has the difference between giving and not giving, where can ordinary people dominate the time. It is better to do this: if Lian Heng does not see the effect for the time being, it is better to concentrate on domestic affairs. ”

He looked at Zhang Yi, then at Sima Cuo, and said sincerely: "If one day our Qin State enters the Bashu region, we still need the two of you to advance and retreat together, lead the Qin army together, and assist each other in order to achieve its great success." ”

"What do you think of my opinion?" Zhu Liji deliberately asked Zhang Yi and Sima a wrong sentence after the most difficult question.

Sima Cuo found that Zhu Liji actually agreed with his opinion, and of course he bowed his head first to show his approval. Zhang Yi saw that Sima Cuo and Zhu Liji were on the same front, he belonged to a minority faction, and he was a foreign country, as the prime minister, he couldn't be stubborn. Therefore, Zhang Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

Qin Wang Yingsi saw that Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi and his younger brother Zhu Liji had reached an agreement on their own, and he was very happy, he grabbed Zhang Yi with his left hand and Sima Cuo with his right hand, Ha Luha laughed twice and said, "So very good!" The society and the people of the Qin State depend on you to unite and resonate with the prestige of the Qin State. ”

Zhang Yi also smiled bitterly at that time, and responded with two words of praise for Qin Guo's good obedience. But from his heart, he still couldn't agree with Qin's short-sightedness to focus only on domestic affairs, and passively wait for the clouds and rain of the eastern princes.

This situation caused Zhang Yi to have a strong sense of restraint in his heart, and he felt that there was a certain xenophobic mood that had existed in the Qin State for a long time, but there were clear-sighted people like Zhu Liji, and it was precisely this kind of person who spoke in the court that the Qin State did not completely go to the road of xenophobia.

Zhang Yi was annoyed for a while, but he thought about it again, and felt that almost all political arenas were in a state of struggle between different forces, and if the struggle was removed, the so-called politicians would no longer exist. Therefore, it is not surprising that the implementation of all political opinions is advancing on the road of eliminating controversy!

Therefore, when Zhang Yi learned that the crown prince Zhao Yong had escaped the pursuit of the Lin Hu cavalry, and then saw that Mantuo gave up the opportunity to chase after him, but retreated back, he knew that the general situation was a little bad.

If this momentum continues, he will not be able to catch the crown prince of Zhao State, and he will not be able to complete the task of breaking the Hezong Conference in a row, but I am afraid that after returning to Qin State, he will encounter ridicule and slander from local ministers such as Sima Cuo.

Gongsun Yan, who was standing next to Zhang Yi, said urgently: "We might as well march into the army as soon as possible, and catch up with each other again, maybe we can catch up with the prince of Zhao State." ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and replied, "Since there are ambush soldiers in the middle of the road, how can they retreat defenselessly. If my guess is correct, they must have left the defenders behind, waiting for us to burrow into the position of the good one, and then ambush us. ”

Mantuo was frightened by the rain of arrows just now, even if it was less than half an hour, the Linhu cavalry dropped thousands of corpses on the Dongyang slope, as soon as he heard Zhang Yi say that there might be an ambush, he was the first to shake his head like a rattle, and said: "We Linhu people are fighting, the most taboo is that these insidious villains sneak attack, let's not pursue it for the time being, and find another map." ”

Zhang Yi stared at it for a while, thought for a moment, and said: "As long as we guard the road from Huotai Mountain to Handan, then the prince of Zhao will definitely not be able to go back in a short time." In my opinion, we might as well hold off the pursuit and see what happens. ”

Gongsun Yan asked, "If the prince of Zhao doesn't take this road back to Handan, won't we wait in vain?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "If they don't go back to Handan, they will definitely choose to flee to Jinyang City, and want to rely on the city of Jinyang City to temporarily avoid the limelight." What is ridiculous is that the prince of Zhao thought that it was only the Lin Hu cavalry that pursued him, but he didn't know that there was also our Qin and Wei coalition army. ”

"I also expected that the prince of Zhao Guo was frightened, and they didn't dare to return the same way, so everyone only waited here for two hours, if we couldn't see their shadows, we would boldly march to Jinyang, and the prince of Zhao would definitely hide there."

Gongsun Yan was a little puzzled, and asked again: "If the prince of Zhao State escapes to Jinyang City, does Prime Minister Zhang have any good way to capture him?" Zhang Yi was not too polite, he coldly replied to Sima Cuo: "If I am not mistaken, it is said that General Sima was also full of confidence when he sent troops to Michi, but what about the final outcome?" Nine deaths! This is the price of reckless use of troops. ”
